GATEWAY CONTROLLER
1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1
Basic functionality
The Gateway Controller firmware enables the realization of
gateways for the EnOcean 868 MHz and 315 MHz radio systems.
It provides a bi-directional radio interface on one end and a bidirectional serial interface with a baud rate of 58.8 kbit/s at the
other end. Radio messages are sent transparently through the
serial interface in both directions from and to an externally connected host processor or host PC. In addition control commands
can be sent from the host to manage the Gateway Controller
functions, e.g. to configure the repeater functionality or to manage the Smart Ack functions. Gateway Controller can act as postmaster for up to 20 bidirectional sensors using Smart Ack technology.
The Gateway Controller firmware can be installed in TCM 300/300C and TCM 320/320C radio modules.
Features
 Smart Acknowledge Controller functionality
 Transparent radio channel
 Programmable repeater functionality (1 / 2 Level)
 ESP3 (EnOcean Serial Protocol V3) support
